Hi all... I'm new to the group and also in Santa Monica... here's a question re: profit taking directed at Katherine and other experienced investors... that is, those who've actually had profits LOL... 

I bought TIVO on the 6/2/03 breakout (8.58/share) and am sitting on a 50+% profit in a month.  Yes, it's due for a short term correction, but I love the product and sales are doing very well.  According to David Ryan (WON's disciple from Market Wizards) I should take 30-50% off the table, with plans to reinvest on any correctly forming base if I still like the stock.  Or I could simply place a stop under the recent support which is very strong and clear at 9.25.

I have such an attachment emotionally to this stock.  I know it's wrong.  But the rapid success is clouding my judgement.  The same with AMHC.  I'm used to selling at a loss, but find it hard to take a profit.  Crazy.  Any words of wisdom from the vets?
